Director Otto Preminger had brought back the star of his previous film (the poorly received <em>Saint Joan<\/em>, 1957) and cast her in the central role of Cecile: a willful, spoiled young woman who finds her carefree summer threatened by the arrival of an unwanted maternal figure. It&#8217;s an odd story &#8212; not entirely successful, yet somehow riveting, and not nearly as awful as Crowther&#8217;s review suggests; we watch with the uneasy knowledge that a train wreck is about to happen, yet recognize it as the inevitable fallout of adolescent callowness. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, young Seberg hadn&#8217;t yet discovered her acting chops; her delivery of lines is stilted at best, and the obvious post-dubbing doesn&#8217;t help matters any. Yet she exudes charm and youthful beauty, and remains compelling to watch. Her character&#8217;s close relationship with Niven (nicely cast against type) reminds one of Gidget and her widowed father, though with a decidedly sensual tinge; Cecile is remarkably comfortable with the explicit knowledge of her father&#8217;s summertime affair with the sexy yet safely innocuous Elsa (Mylene Demongeot). Also impressive is Deborah Kerr in a thankless yet pivotal role as Cecile&#8217;s godmother &#8212; a ruinous presence in Cecil&#8217;s idyllic existence. <\/p>\n<p>Other than Seberg and Kerr, the most memorable elements of the film are the gorgeous Technicolor visuals and sun-drenched French Riviera settings &#8212; this is very much a <em>summertime <\/em>film, with events compressed into the span of one tragically memorable vacation. The closing shot &#8212; reminiscent of Glenn Close in <em>Dangerous Liaisons<\/em> &#8212; makes for a daringly downbeat finale in an era of mostly cheerful denouements; in a way, it&#8217;s easy to see why modern critics (such as Eric Henderson at <em>Slant Magazine<\/em>) cite <em>Bonjour Tristesse<\/em> as a film waiting to be reclaimed: like Douglas Sirk, Preminger is now viewed by many as an auteur whose talents remained largely misunderstood during his lifetime. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saul Bass&#8217;s opening titles<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"837\" height=\"368\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass.jpg 837w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass-128x56.jpg 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/Bonjour-Tristesse-Bass-604x266.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 837px) 100vw, 837px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Jean Seberg as Cecile &#8212;
